If I'm honest with myself, when we started Super Evil Genius Corp five years ago, I couldn't have imagined being featured in @Forbes The ride has been incredible, and I'm deeply grateful to every single person who trusted us with their brand's voice. forbes.com/sites/stevebaltin…

Stoked to be a small part of this team the last 3 seasons. Music x basketball is my 1A/1B love, no contest. Watching BIG3 grow year over year has been incredible to witness firsthand. Season 9 is live now, don’t sleep.

He's really good at this.
here is Mamdani's entire speech at the Knicks parade, which is easily the best speech I've ever heard at an event of this sort

I think I picked a weird time to read 1984.

🧵 Let’s talk about the tariff illusion — and the quiet tax increase nobody’s mentioning... 1/ Companies raised prices because of tariffs. Those prices aren’t coming back down. They’ve already proven the market will tolerate them. That part isn’t surprising. What is surprising is what almost no one is talking about next.

10/ Because if your grocery bill went up, your clothing bill went up, your household goods went up… then your taxes went up too. You just weren’t asked. Small government. Lower taxes. …right?
36
9/ So when you hear “small government” and “lower taxes,” ask yourself: Are taxes actually going down? Or are they just being rerouted through higher prices and sales receipts?
23
8/ This is the part nobody tells you: Tariffs don’t just raise prices once. They reset the baseline. And once the baseline moves, everything compounds on top of it — including taxes. Forever.
22
7/ So while companies keep the higher margins… …and families absorb the higher costs… …the government quietly benefits from both. That’s not small government. That’s stealth taxation.
21
6/ Now multiply that across ~130 million households. That’s $5.5–$7 billion annually flowing back to government coffers — purely from inflated prices. No press conference. No policy announcement. No debate.
16
5/ At a typical combined state/local rate of 7–9%, that’s $42–$54 per household per year in new taxes. Not because services improved. Not because infrastructure expanded. Just because prices went up.
17
4/ Let’s be generous and assume half of that spending goes toward groceries (often exempt from sales tax). That still leaves roughly $600 per household exposed to sales tax.
